Very helpful insight into Acoustic Drum Programming

A great alternative to using canned MIDI loops. These videos take you through the process of creating realistic and relevant drum tracks using a virtual instrument. As with everything, a little practice is required, but this course provides all the information needed to get you creating your own realistic drum parts.

Great tutorial: Clear subject, very practical & useful, no filler

In about 45 minutes you'll learn about creating realistic drum parts.
This is done in Cubase, but could be used for other DAWs as well.
I also have the other Groove3 title on the same subject (Creating Realistic MIDI Drums), which is also great and makes a great companion to this tutorial, as it is from a different instructor with a different approach and teaching style.
Definitely recommended.

Doing Most Of This

It was a confidence boost to know that I'm already doing most of this... However, there were a few new additions that I will add to my workflow... As long term Cubase user I was amazed that the author didn't use the Drum Editor... hence the 4-stars

Awesome

One of the few tutorials on "real" drumming I've found that works. I played drums as a kid, so I know the rudiments, now as a crappy pianist who's played guitar for 40 years, I have something to work on :)

Live sounding drums

An excellent tutorial. Precise and in depth,this should give your drums life

I've been working with computers and music from probably around five or six, when my parents first got an Atari with Cubase 2.0! Been hooked ever since.

2. What training have you had?

Mostly it comes from my parents. They're both songwriters and producers, so I grew up watching them and learning in their studio. More recently, just self-taught really.

3. When did you get into recording?

I guess I first started taking it seriously when I was around 15 or 16, which is when it became a bit more feasible to actually record at home and go beyond GM. That's when I started picking up other instruments aside from keyboard, guitar, bass, drums.

4. People you have worked with/for?

I've just started working with the guys over at Red Bull Media House and am on my second album with them now! Some of my sound design work has found its way to the studios over at the likes of Blizzard, and I've done a great deal of custom composition and production music for library music companies both here in the UK and in the Unites States.

5. Why are you so good at training people?

I just love helping people out I guess! Through my personal music projects I've connected with thousands of fans from across the world, and most of them are aspiring producers and musicians themselves. So it's nice to be part of a wider community of creative people and help them along the way, as others helped me.
